Three major US media outlets—CNN, Politico, and MS NOW—have launched legal action against President Donald Trump and his administration following a ban from White House grounds. The outlets filed a joint lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging the ban violates First Amendment rights after reporters were denied entry. Trump defended the decision, accusing the organisations of reporting "fiction or lies" and "fake news."

In response to the exclusion of the three outlets, major television networks including NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox News suspended their shared White House TV pool coverage in solidarity. The lawsuit seeks an emergency ruling to restore media access to executive events.
